  通用汽车中国公司总裁兼总经理甘文维先生在“氢动未来 氢新生活”氢经济及燃料电池汽车科普展的发言。

  ·Thank you.

  ·谢谢。

  ·I’d like to begin my remarks by thanking SAIC and the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum for joining GM as co-sponsors of this important exhibition. I also want to thank Shanghai Municipality for your support.

  ·在发言前,我想首先对此次科普展的另两家主办方——上海汽车集团股份有限公司和上海科技馆表示感谢。同时,我也要衷心感谢上海市政府所给予的大力支持。

  ·In just a handful of years, China has gone from a country in which personal cars were a rarity to a country with the world’s fastest-growing car market … from a country in which vehicle emissions were largely an afterthought to a country in which emissions have become a major environmental concern … from a country that was a net exporter of petroleum to a country that is one of the world’s major petroleum importers.

  ·短短几年时间,中国已经从一个私人轿车还不多见的国家,变成了全球发展最快的轿车市场;中国对汽车排放问题的关注度也日益提高,今天该问题已经成为环境保护的要务之一;同时,中国也已经从一个石油净出口国,变成全球主要石油进口国之一。

  ·As China and the rest of the world change, the automotive industry also has to change. General Motors has responded by developing a comprehensive strategy comprised of near-, mid- and long-term solutions for highly efficient and sustainable transportation.

  ·中国和世界都在改变,汽车工业也应顺势而为。通用汽车积极响应:以建设高效和可持续发展的交通体系为目标,推进近、中、远期三步走的全面解决方案。

  ·Over the long term, we believe that fuel cells powered by hydrogen offer the ultimate solution for sustainable transportation around the globe. This technology also offers the best solution for taking the motor vehicle out of the pollution equation, decreasing the world’s reliance on petroleum and ensuring our energy security.

  ·从长远来看,我们坚信,氢燃料电池技术是全球实现真正可持续发展交通的最终解决方案。这项技术也为解决汽车污染,减少全球对于石油的依赖和确保能源安全提供了最佳解决方案。

  ·Yet the road to the commercialization of this technology is fraught with challenges. One of the biggest is consumer acceptance.

  ·然而,在这项技术的商业化进程中还存在不少挑战,其中最大的问题之一就是消费者的认可。

  ·As we all have seen with other industries, it takes time for any major new technology - regardless of how beneficial it may be - to become accepted by the public. We therefore need to educate consumers … and we need to educate consumers today.

  ·如同我们在其它行业内所看到的一样,任何重大的新科技,无论它将来会给我们带来多少便利,但要为公众所接受,仍然需要一定的时间。因此,我们需要向消费者进行普及工作,并且立即付诸行动。

  ·That, ladies and gentlemen, is why this exhibition is so important.

  ·因此,女士们先生们,这也就是为什么今天的科普展具有如此重要意义的原因所在。

  ·Our goal is to demonstrate to the Chinese public the exciting advances that have already been made in the development of clean vehicle technology and the many benefits that this technology promises. Another equally important goal is to show the important role that China and Chinese institutions have to play in this technology’s further development.

  ·我们的目的是向中国公众展示在清洁能源汽车技术领域已经取得的进展,并且通过这些令人惊叹的技术,我们将受益匪浅。同时,我们的另一个重要目的是,阐明中国政府和有关机构在这项科技的进一步推进过程中,所将扮演的重要角色。

  ·As a country with a relatively young automotive industry and without the massive gasoline infrastructure of places like the United States and Europe, China is in an excellent position to create a hydrogen infrastructure. Similarly, China’s automotive industry and research community are in an excellent position to become leaders in sustainable transportation.

  ·中国汽车行业正处于蓬勃发展的阶段,中国还未形成象美国和欧洲那样的、大规模的石油基础设施,因此,中国正处在发展氢能源基础设施的黄金时机。同样地,中国汽车工业和相关研究组织要成为全球可持续发展交通体系建设的领跑者,现在也正处于一个非常有利时机。

  ·But just like the development of China’s automotive industry of today, partnerships are key to the development of China’s automotive industry of tomorrow. It is crucial that those of us in the automotive industry form partnerships amongst ourselves and with the energy industry, as well as with government and academic institutions to share resources and learnings. We also need to get the public on board.

  ·不过,和当今中国汽车工业的发展一样,协同合作也是中国汽车工业未来发展的关键所在。作为汽车行业的一员,我们要与同行,与能源产业,与政府部门和学术机构建立广泛合作关系,分享资源和经验,这一点至关重要。同时,我们也需要得到社会公众的支持。

  ·By working together and sharing our achievements with the local community, I am convinced that we will be able to eliminate the challenges along the road to a hydrogen-based economy and truly sustainable transportation.

  ·通过与本地社会团结合作、成果共享,我坚信,在实现氢经济和真正的可持续发展交通的道路上,我们必将战胜挑战。

  ·Thank you.

  ·谢谢。
